About Us

Darpana Wellness was founded with the primary objective of offering extensive counseling services to students, with the aim of tending to their emotional requirements and achieving a harmonious equilibrium between their academic pursuits and personal lives. At Darpana, our methodology entails a methodical examination of the emotional needs of both students and adults. Our team of proficient professionals diligently identifies the underlying causes of concerns and implements a range of therapeutic techniques, such as CBT, NLP, and other personalized approaches, to cater to individual needs.

In addition to individual counseling, we conduct specialized parenting sessions to understand perspectives and offer guidance on various issues. Our commitment extends beyond one-time sessions; with students counselling, we suggest follow-up sessions with parents to track progress and maintain consistent communication with individuals. We spend quality time unearthing the repressed feelings, developmental issues, low self esteem, and academic stress and actively support them in achieving behavioral modification and fostering holistic development.
